- On the latest episode of X-Pac 12360, which you can watch in the video above, Sean Waltman discussed Shawn Michaels returning to the ring at Crown Jewel to team with Triple H against The Undertaker and Kane. Waltman admits that he would have liked for Michaels to have returned even sooner.

"Hey [DX is] going to Saudi Arabia," Waltman said. "[Shawn Michaels] was sticking to his guns on this whole retirement thing and I would have liked to see him do it sooner. [The fans] wanted him to come back for a long time and I respect the hell out of his reasons for not doing it, and I respect the hell out of his reasons for doing it now, making money!"
